All Saints' Presbyterian Church

All Saints’ meets with the Sovereign Grace PCA congregation at 3326 Archdale Drive, Charlotte, 28210 each Sunday morning and evening as our two congregations move forward with plans to merge. For more information, please contact Pastor Dean or view the website at www.sovereigngrace.org. A schedule of special Christmas events follows, but do plan to join us each Sunday at 9:45 for teaching and at 10:55 and 6:00 for worship.

Dr. Barcley has begun a sermon series for the Advent season on the “I Am” sayings of Jesus from the Gospel of John. The purpose of this series is to prepare our hearts to worship the incarnate Lord by reflecting on who he is and what he came to earth to do. Sermons have included a study of Jesus’ statements, “I am the bread of life”, “I am the light of the world”, and “I am the good shepherd”. Plan to join with us morning and evening to receive the benefit of this rich teaching.

Men and women interested in joining together in prayer each month to pray for the reformation and revival of our city and nation should continue to set aside an hour at noon to pray first Wednesday of each month. We continue to “Pray For Revival in Our Land” this coming Wednesday; the All Saints’ property at 3901 McKee Road will be open at noon for anyone who wants to make the journey south of Charlotte and join us.Otherwise please stop at noon on Wednesday the 7th and either alone or with others pray that a great revival will begin throughout our country and renewal in our churches will lead this revival.
